Demand Congress Restore CDC Guidance for Sexual, Reproductive, and LGTBQ+ Health

Consistent with their ongoing war on science and sexual and reproductive health, the Trump administration has removed crucial health information from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) website. Censored information includes resources on contraception, gender-affirming care, sexually-transmitted infections, and treatment and prevention of HIV. The CDC’s evidence-based guidelines are the cornerstone of the United States public health system and medical practice nationwide. Access to reliable, evidence-based health information is more critical than ever, and this removal of the CDC’s resources is a public health emergency.

The unprecedented rollback of CDC guidelines jeopardizes the health and safety of millions of Americans, not only those living with chronic conditions but also every individual who relies on our collective defenses to prevent disease outbreaks. When vital information disappears, so does our health and public health systems’ ability to respond effectively to emerging public health threats, protect vulnerable populations, and contain health crises. CDC resources are essential tools for general practitioners, specialists, and public health officials, guiding the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based care to millions of Americans. The removal of guidelines and data immediately undermines health providers’ ability to care for patients, provide evidence-based care, and protect communities’ health.

Hello, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [City/Zip].

I’m calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to take immediate action to restore the HIV, STIs, LGBTQ health, and contraception guidelines and health resources on the CDC website.

[Choose 1-3 reasons:]

  • These evidence-based guidelines are essential for clinicians to provide high-quality care and protect public health.

  • Removing them puts vulnerable populations at risk, reverses decades of progress, and harms communities nationwide.

  • The decision to remove these essential resources was not based on medical or public health reasons, but serves a political agenda at the expense of peoples’ lives.

  • These guidelines must be restored immediately to protect and preserve the health of my neighbors and your constituents.

  • The guidelines removed appear to target some of the most marginalized communities and demonstrates a complete lack of concern for the most vulnerable among us. How does that make America healthy again?

Thank you for your time and consideration, your action could make a difference between life and death.
